The highest-income cities in Quebec represent areas where residents earn significantly above the national median. Hampstead leads with a median household income of $150,000. These cities are often home to concentrations of high-paying industries including technology, finance, and healthcare.

High median incomes typically correlate with strong local economies, educated workforces, and proximity to major employment centers. Many of these cities are suburbs or satellite communities of larger metro areas, where professionals live while commuting to nearby urban cores.
